I can’t tell you how much we loved Joyce’s place. I’ve been to Bangkok a few times and have normally stayed near Siam or in my backpacker days near Koh San. This was our first trip with the kids (age 11 and 13). We loved being in an authentic Thai house and the area was brilliant. Amazing eats nearby (Joyce’s recommendations were fantastic), authentic neighbourhood where you feel you can soak up Bangkok life (hardly saw any other tourists), and minutes away from water taxis on river and sky train plus a tonne of Tuk tuks and taxis at the end of the street. Shopping centre, pharmacy, 7 / 11 down the road too which was quite useful with the kids. If you want a memorable Bangkok experience in atmospheric local house just book!
